Snobby Beer is now on Dayton Most Metro!


Dayton Most Metro

Just wanted to post a quick update to let everyone know that I’ll be periodically writing articles and reviews Dayton Most Metro! The first review was posted last night, which was for the excellent Troegs Mad Elf.

Dayton Most Metro (DMM) is focused on the Dayton area. One of the things I wanted to accomplish with Snobby Beer was to help promote the craft beer scene in Dayton, so it’s an honor to be writing for them. Thanks to Lisa Grigsby and Bill Pote for bringing me in.

Cheers!
